I hurried into the Halliwell home, humming. Cole is happy he's human. Freaked out, yes, but if he's happy, I am. I know he's unhappy that we're not marrying, but he understands. I remember that Paige's green beetle is parked outside, so I hurry up the stairs and knock on her door. Its Paige's room, but in my heart-Prue will always be there. But I need to get over it all. I knock again, and it hits me. a premonition.

*~* Paige is attacking Piper and Phoebe with powers she previously didn't possess. One of Paige's fireballs hits Piper square in the chest, and Piper falls to the ground. Phoebe looks, and Piper is slowly dying.*~*

"Leo!" I cry. What can Leo do about this? I just need someone to talk to. and I'm not up to speaking to Paige about this. In seconds, the blue form of Piper's husband appears in front of me.

"What is it Phoebe?" He asks, the usual concern of a whitelighter. I explain my premonition in its entirety, not caring about the puppy-dog look that he gets when I tell him about Piper's predicted death.

"Talk to your elders. Find out what is making Paige do this and why she's become so powerful. I don't think that's her doing it, and I want to know who or what is," I said, surprising myself by being amazingly calm. Maybe being a middle sister is a fitting role for me. I made little shooing motions with my hands. "And hurry!"

Leo orbed out of there, and I went downstairs to wait for Piper to come home only for me to kick her out again.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Paige gasped slightly as a chill went through her. The room began to spin, and, eventually, she hit the ground, and darkness took her.

When she awoke, she wasn't sure how long she'd been lying on the attic's floor. She didn't remember much. Paige shook her head, clearing the cobwebs out. Her memories slowly trickled into her brain, but they were interlaced with the memories of none other but Scarlett Warren's. Paige-Scarlett now- looked around, with mostly distaste, until her dark eyes lay on the Book of Shadows. "Marisa's book," she said, but didn't sound at all like the actual Paige Halliwell. Her voice was much more musical, "what do you know? I must be a," she laughed, "good witch." Scarlett/Paige threw open the door and strode downstairs.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I watched my little sister come down the stairs. Something was not right. She seemed confused. "Paige?" I asked tentatively. She looked at me, but she seemed to be glaring at me. God, where was Leo? Or Piper, or Cole? At first I think the Evil Enchantress found her way back, but she hasn't.

"I don't want you to call me that anymore," she answered. "Call me Scarlett. no, you know what? I don't want to be around you anymore, Sister." She throws a fireball at me, like in the vision. I levitate up, dodging by the barest second. But the next one, I do not dodge. I'm too slow to, and it hits me in the stomach. I scream as I fall to the hard floor. There is not a single mark on me, but its power is making me feel like my very own soul is being destroyed. My last thought is that I'm regretful of not being able to warn Piper, before Death takes me, too.
